These people all have one thing in common. They all have jobs that they have to work hard for. They go through hardships in their jobs that they have to deal with because they need to support their family.For instants, Chris Thorton, could have been killed on his job. And when he got hurt he still had to do his job. For that i think he was really brave.http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/thorsten.html
The stonecutter was really brave as well. He could have easily inhaled lots of Silica which could have killed him. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/garavel.html- Laura B

ILearned that all of these people worked very hard to get what they had and they suffered great amounts, I also learned that people had quilting parties, I never knew that New York was such a hard place to live in people shooting each other cutting each other and backstabbing all those things.People rented their homes out, for people to have parties which is kind of a cleaver idea, many different god beliefs and also people sold a pound of fish for 5 cents and most people were interested in music.

I learned about the lives of the people and how difficult it was for them to survive. They earned little amounts of money for dangerous jobs that could have possibly killed them. During the Great Depression people suffered greatly and had very little money and ways to make it. Though people survived they might have lost alot, some people might have had to sell food or posessions to have a roof above their heads and food in their stomachs. Children had to help make money for families and it wasn't easy. Alice Caudle started work at the age of 10. She had to stand on a box to work because she was so short and the work was meant for other people.
PART B:
Clyde "Kingfish" Smith was a worker in the streets of New York City. He got his nickname from selling fish and singing. Clyde was an African-Amreican male, who was a street vendor since 1932. The interview took place on November 29, 1939, at the corner of 101 Street, New York City. Marion Charles Hatch interviewed Clyde "Kingfish" Smith. Kingfish earned little money for his job but made the most of it by singing. His singing, out of pure fun, attracted more people who wanted to buy fish. I think that for the most part, Clyde tried to make the best of a bad situation.

Amy Chapman is an old colored women who is very well respected in Sumter County. She died on the tuesday morning of the week before September 28, 1938. She was formerly a slave for a very kind man. He owned many slaves, and many plantations. One of Amy's overseers, Hewey Leman, had an affair with Amy, and produced two children. When Hewey died, he left a house and a piece of land to each of his children. Both children became very successful people. Amy tended to stay away from colored folks, but when she was toward her last days, you could find her colored neighbors all around her depite all of that. At her funeral, it was a very respectable ceremony and in a place very hard to get to. I think that her life was a great success, because many people liked and respected her very much. - Laura B.

Clyde "Kingfish" Smith and Amy Chapman were both African Americans. Clyde was a male who was a street vendor and a singer. He made little money from his jobs. Amy was a former slave, and was taken care of by her children's father, who was a white male, who oversaw slaves at a plantation. Clyde and Amy were both respected by the people around them, because they were kind and fun. It just goes to show you that when your personality shows people will like you better. - Laura B.
